    I love *every* note in the After Five…except saffron. I wonder how detectable that will be…I wonder if I can get over my aversion to Elizabeth Arden and actually try this…

    I love the saffron, it is the black plum that worries me 🙂

    I had a very quick sniff of After Five in a parfumerie somewhere in Provence, and I thought it was better than I'd expected. But I haven't found it in the UK for a longer test.
